Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 355: The Advent of Sun Tianlin

"What?!" Bo Luncang was utterly shocked.

"The Prosperous Stone Immortal Star has actually sent an army of cultivators to descend upon the Immortal Martial Continent!"

"Hasn't the Immortal Martial Continent been forsaken by them for a million years? Why are so many cultivator legions showing up now?"

"Even if there was a descent, it should have been just a small squad."

"Damn it! My plans for the Western Ice Domain are ruined. Now it seems that's not an option." He set aside his immediate intentions for the Western Ice Domain, opting instead to order an extensive investigation into the size of the Pure Frost Domain's human cultivator army.

Even if lives must be sacrificed, this information is crucial to obtain!

Immediately, he cast his gaze upward to the spatial channel above him and commanded his men to return to the Myriad Demons Continent and report the situation.

"I had thought conquering the Immortal Martial Continent would be straightforward. Now, it's clear that a fierce battle is inevitable," Bo Luncang said, clenching his fist. His eyes were tinged with caution and seriousness.

The grand army of the demon race was currently dispersed across the Immortal Martial Continent through the Myriad Demons Sky Piercing Mirror, rendering them vulnerable targets for the human cultivator legions to defeat individually.

Recalling the demon race army, however, was no easy feat.

The teleportation arrays across the Immortal Martial Continent had been long since destroyed by Jiang Chen. Even for a powerhouse in the Transcendence realm, moving from one region to another would require a significant amount of time.

'This is unacceptable,' Bo Luncang thought to himself. 'I must first head to the Pure Frost Domain to prevent the cultivator army from initiating an attack!'

'Furthermore, if the human cultivator army lacks a cultivator in the Nirvana Peering realm, capturing them all in one fell swoop becomes possible!'

'Even if they do have one, I can still stand my ground and gradually summon our grand army. Moreover, the Myriad Demons Continent can still send reinforcements.' With these thoughts in mind, he commanded all the demon race legions to pull back to the Everflowing Truth Domain, while he himself soared toward the Pure Frost Domain.

The Immortal Martial Continent was divided into sixteen domains.

Located at the center of the continent were the Everflowing Truth Domain, Lustrous Yang Domain, Pure Frost Domain, and Vibrant Blaze Domain, with the Everflowing Truth Domain situated right at the core.

The straight-line distance between the Pure Frost Domain and the Vibrant Blaze Domain was not particularly extensive.

Thanks to Bo Luncang's cultivation base in the Nirvana Peering realm and his Transcendence rank magical artifact, he was able to move at an incredible speed.

...

Just as Bo Luncang exited the Vibrant Blaze Domain, over in the Western Ice Domain, Mo Hao was leading the way. They had flown quite a distance but had not encountered any supporting characters, a fact that somewhat surprised Jiang Chen.

Suddenly, a message pinged on his transmission jade token.

After a quick scan with his divine sense, Jiang Chen's expression shifted immediately.

'The Prosperous Stone Immortal Star's cultivator army has descended!' he thought somberly.

'And it's not just any force; it's a legion of a million cultivators, teeming with Transcendence realm powerhouses. There may even be a great powerhouse in the Nirvana Peering realm leading them!'

'So that's the situation. The Prosperous Stone Immortal Star's cultivator army has put the demon army under immense pressure.'

'The demon race's army is now fragmented and vulnerable at its weakest. It looks like the demon commander is planning a regroup.'

'Before that occurs, the commander might head to the Pure Frost Domain personally to keep the cultivator army from inflicting major losses on the scattered demonic troops.'

'It seems imperative to assess the current state in the Vibrant Blaze Domain.'

'If the demon commander has indeed left, it would be the prime opportunity to destroy the spatial channel.'

'But what about Mo Hao if I decide to head to the Vibrant Blaze Domain?' Jiang Chen mused, feeling slightly troubled as he rubbed his chin.

After weighing his options, Jiang Chen resolved to have Ying Luo distract Mo Hao. Meanwhile, he would use the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven to teleport himself to the Vibrant Blaze Domain for a discreet investigation of the situation there.

Should anything unexpected occur, he would use the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven to make a swift return.

Having settled on a plan, Jiang Chen immediately conferred privately with Ying Luo. After issuing his instructions, he discreetly left the group.

As soon as Jiang Chen was gone, Ying Luo emerged from the crowd and approached Mo Hao, saying casually, "Hey, human boy, we've been flying for a while and haven't run into any demon race troops. I'm getting bored. How about we find a place to rest?"

"Rest?" replied Mo Hao, puzzled but amenable. Desiring to make Ying Luo his own mount, he naturally wouldn't be too demanding. "Alright then," he agreed.

Moreover, Ying Luo was indeed in a weakened state, and they hadn't encountered any other demonic legions for quite some time. Taking a break seemed entirely logical.

Thus, the group located a nearby snow cave and took shelter there for some rest.

...

Simultaneously, Jiang Chen swiftly moved beyond the reach of Mo Hao's divine sense detection. Utilizing the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven as a conduit, he teleported tens of millions of kilometers away, positioning himself far from the Vibrant Blaze Domain's spatial channel.

Right away, he activated the innate skill for concealment from his Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo, effectively hiding his aura and tracks. He then quickly made his way toward the spatial channel.

...

Simultaneously, in the Pure Frost Domain, the sky was darkened by a sea of cultivators, resembling ominous clouds. Their numbers surpassed a million, almost the entire strength of the Sun Clan's cultivator legions.

All eyes were fixed on the spatial channel above them at that moment.

Emerging slowly from the spatial channel was a man robed in long garments, his hair wildly flowing. His face was solemn, touched by a shade of sorrow. It was none other than Sun Ji's father, Sun Tianlin.

"Greetings, Master Tianlin!" Over a million cultivators collectively bowed, their voices resounding through the heavens.

Ignoring the throng of cultivators below, Sun Tianlin pulled out a compass.

The compass displayed seven distinct patterns, each serving a different function.

"Departed Soul Stirring!" Sun Tianlin crushed a crystal, channeling a wisp of soul essence into the compass's sixth pattern.

This essence was Sun Ji's.

The sixth pattern on the compass was specifically designed to call upon the residual souls of the departed. While it couldn't revive the deceased, it could extract some information from their lingering souls.

Sun Tianlin's intent was to identify who had killed his son. However, despite pushing the compass to its utmost capabilities, he was unable to retrieve any remnants of Sun Ji's soul.

"Soul Annihilation! Even the residual soul is gone... My poor son." Sun Tianlin's eyes brimmed with sorrow. Despite using the soul essences of his other two sons, he found no success.

"Could it be," Sun Tianlin mused aloud, "that I should activate the seventh pattern?"

"Very well. Regardless of the cost, I must uncover the true murderer. I'll ensure they endure a life of torment, yearning for death over their miserable existence, until their life force is utterly extinguished!" Gathering his composure with several deep breaths, he took out three distinct soul essences and infused them into the compass's seventh pattern.

The seventh pattern on the compass symbolized karma and was its most enigmatic and potent feature.

"Tracing Cause from Effect, activate!" Sun Tianlin's face hardened, pouring Yuan Power into the compass without any reservations. He even employed secret arts to boost its efficacy.

The compass was driven to its ultimate limit!

"I must find them, I must!" Sun Tianlin's eyes were fixed intently on the compass, "No one, not even those from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, can elude my reach—especially not someone from the Immortal Martial Continent!"

"Once I locate you, your living nightmare will commence," he declared, his eyes ablaze with lethal intent.

Despite his dwindling internal Yuan Power, Sun Tianlin found no answers.

"How is this possible?" His pupils quivered, struggling to accept what he was seeing.

...

Simultaneously, Jiang Chen, who was covertly moving forward, felt an inexplicable surge in his blood. He immediately stopped, his eyes widening with a mixture of surprise and confusion. "What's happening?"
